Nadja Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 One may wonder why there are so many unprecedented ?leaks? of Windows 7 coming from M$ with so few (if any) apparent changes. Wireshark (ex Ethereal) users may notice increase stealth activities to the M$ servers from built 7100 -> 7137 -> 7201. In certain circles where members wear black hats, it is rumoured that the software juggernaut main aim is to purposefully leak single copies to ?reliable? sources to investigate how fast a ?pirated? copy would propagate around the globe. Because all the ?testers? have genuine keys and communications are very open with M$, someone at the Redmond Headquarters may be sitting at a desk looking at a world map monitoring the ?leaks? spreading speed (in red colour?). After all M$ attempts to eradicate piracy of their products is on top of their beta testing agenda, declaring war on software ?pirates? and the ?Slic masters? who made a big dent in their Vista profit margin. Or maybe M$ is trying their hardest to please Windows 7 users and respond promptly to their whims....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satchmo Bevins Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 About all one could say about Microsoft in this matter is it's granting of tacit approval by not issuing take down requests to the sites doing the leaking. Beyond that, nothing. It does build the hub-bub, all this leakyness going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdave Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 it is a good way to test their system in a real world scenarios ;) and a free press too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Farfetched conspiracy theory. Tracking the spread of downloads would be of little use to them because the spread of pirated material is already very well documented. They are releasing interim builds to tech partners, and TAP testers, and evidently more of these are finding their way into the hands of leakers than usual. The same conspiracy theories pop up everytime a build leaks and I think its a load of nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I don't think Microsoft would purposely leak builds and thus "teach" more people where to get the RTM when it leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
